Privacy Policy

Fundamental Rule

YOUR PRIVACY IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY. You should expect that – with the exceptions outlined below – everything you contribute could potentially become public. If you consider this an issue, please ensure that you provide no information that could identify you personally

Use a pseudonym and a single-purpose email address

Refrain from posting information that could identify you (“In 2005 when I worked at Baring Brothers”); keep in mind that small pieces of information provided separately at different locations might be aggregated and still identify you

Privacy & Your Interactions

We are not currently planning to make any of your interactions – eg in forums – publicly accessible. However, in many instances, your contributions are accessible to a certain group of people (eg your forum posts) and we have no control over what those people do with them. And also, information might become exposed because of technical glitches (see below)

Privacy & Grading

If ever we introduce grading then we do not intend to make your grades public, but they still might accidentally get exposed due to technical or clerical errors.

Privacy & Certificates

If ever we provide certificates – what we are not currently intending – we will probably make them publicly accessible, mainly to ensure that people who claim they got certificates did indeed get them. In any case, we will let you know the exact policy before we issue certificates, and you will always be able to opt out.

Privacy & Technical Glitches

If we become aware of a technical glitch that leads to a privacy breach, we will try to address it as soon as possible, but we are under no obligation to do so. As stated above, your privacy is your responsibility – please only make contributions in the system that you would also make if you knew they were publicly accessible.
